cover crop


i never tire of photographing seedlings. 
they are so inspiring- how they start form a tiny seeds, then pop up and eventually grow into mature plants.

this year, we are planting a cover crop of buckwheat on half of the veggie bed. our veggie bed has grown so large that it takes alot of time to tend. while we love every minute- and every bite- we are scaling back, slightly.

we planted half of it in this cover crop and will till it under at summer's end. then we'll switch ends for planting next go 'round.

we'll see how it goes...

my husband planted buckwheat two years ago as a cover crop and it did pretty well.
